[0]YAPC::NA is less than six months away and the organizers have been
working hard behind the scenes to get the conference off the ground.
We've now got conference dates: June 16th-18th; a venue: IIT's Chicago
Campus; dinner/auction plans: an on-campus bowling ally (thanks for the
inspiration Houston, last year was a blast); and finally, a [0]website.

The site is ACT-based, so if you've gone to a Perl conference before
there is a good chance that you are already familiar with the interface
and registered with the system. Feel free to go to the [1]site and let us
know that you're planning on attending. We'll be opening up registration
and the CFP soon!

| CHI: Cache Interface for Perl                                      |

CHI, a module I've been working on for a few months, has made it to CPAN:

   file: $CPAN/authors/id/J/JS/JSWARTZ/CHI-0.03.tar.gz
   size: 62313 bytes
  md5: ec828f2466ba266e11cd6d1dd5ca2913

CHI provides a unified caching API, designed to assist a developer in
persisting data for a specified period of time. It is intended as an
evolution of DeWitt Clinton's Cache::Cache package, adhering to the basic
Cache API but adding new features and addressing limitations in the
Cache::Cache implementation.

You might think of it as a fledgling "DBI for caching".

Driver classes already exist for in-process memory, plain files, memory
mapped files and memcached. Other drivers such as BerkeleyDB and DBI will
be coming soon. Fortunately, implementing drivers is fairly easy, on the
order of creating a TIE interface to your data store.

Special thanks to the [0]Hearst Digital Media group, where CHI was first
designed and developed, for blessing the open source release of this
code.

There's lots more in store for this module, so stay tuned! Feedback
welcome here or on the [1]Perl cache mailing list.
